America First, Last and Always!

One year ago today, Donald J. Trump became the 45th President of the United States of America! Ever since he was elected, our economy has taken off like a rocket! And not one built by North Korea. Since November 8, the Dow Jones has set new highs 96, that′s NINETY-SIX, times! About a new, record high every 3 or 4 trading days. Overall, since January 20, 2017, the stock markets have increased about 31%, the second most in a presidential first year since FDR. Some $7 TRILLION dollars of equity have been added to our national wealth. Some 60 Million American workers with 401K retirement plans have seen an increase of over 25% this past year. Unemployment is at record lows since after WW2, manufacturing has had its best year in two decades, consumer confidence is also very strong and optimistic. Let us not forget the largest tax cuts and reforms in 30 years! The good news doesn′t end just with the economy.

President Trump has rolled back about 1,000 federal regulations at a ratio of 22 eliminated for each new one added. This has been a huge benefit to small businesses and family farmers and ranchers. The daily burden of federal paperwork on the American people has been reduced. People have hundreds of hours free to spend time with their families or earn more money. The overall stress of daily life is beginning to wane after the yoke of government intrusion has been lifted off their shoulders by President Trump.

The President has set many other records. In addition to adding Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, a dozen new Appeals Court judges have been seated, more in one year than by any other president. On Friday, President Trump became the first president to speak live to the March For Life gathering of some 100,000 people by video. In the 45 years since Roe vs. Wade, President Trump is emphasizing a Pro-Life stance from the White House the likes we have not seen ever before.

On the international front, President Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear to the world that there is a new sheriff in town! He bombed the Syrians for using poison gas, something Barack Obama didn′t have the guts to do. President Trump withdrew America from bad trade deals like TPP and the phony climate change scam of the Paris Accords. The Islamic State, or ISIS, has been run out of Iraq and is nearly finished in Syria. The United Nations has been put on notice that America will no longer play the sucker and fund all of their corruption. Many Americans being held captive from around the world have been brought home. In the coming years, we will move our embassy to the actual capital of Israel, Jerusalem.

Yes, President Donald Trump has had an excellent first year in office. Given all of the distractions and opposition, often from his own political party, I have to give him an A+ for his accomplishments. As the largest tax cuts and reforms go into effect, 2018 should see even more economic miracles. He still has plenty on his list of campaign promises to fulfill. The Wall needs to be built along our southern border. A merit-based immigration system must be put in place while programs like chain-migration and the visa lottery are eliminated. While Obamacare has been neutered with the individual mandate eliminated, our healthcare system still needs a major overhaul. North Korea and Iran must be brought to heal on their aggressive ambitions. NAFTA and trade with China need renegotiating and the National Debt must be paid down. Many of these items may have to wait after the 2018 mid-term elections to see if Republicans can get a 60-seat majority in the Senate and keep the House. But if anyone can do the job, its President Donald J. Trump!
